An analyzing knitter reflects on life and knitting

July 09, 2009

New Kitties, New Recently Finished Projects

Over the past several months many events have taken place in the life of the Analyzing Knitter.

Right Shoulder surgery June 26, 2008 -- Rehab for 6 months

Married off Son 1 on August 30, 2009

Lost Shoulie our cat of almost 16 years on April 14, 2009

Left Shoulder surgery April 22, 2009 -- Rehab for 4 months and counting

Both sons were accepted into doctoral programs . . . on opposite coasts!

Purchased two new kittens on June 26, 2009 I needed compensation for having to cancel a trip to see my friends Becky in Lyon and Louise in Montpelier! Ok, it was not enough compensation but it helped a great deal! Maybe I should have named them Becky and Louise but instead I named them after their personalities: Nahla, The Princess Warrior and Kima, The Scout. Photos to follow.

Finished two knitting projects along with knitting a few other items. (See photos that follow)

Now you are caught up with the Analyzing Knitter's life. Now about the kitties. Nahla, The Princess Warrior, is a silver fawn ocicat born on February 21, 2009. She is a sweet, pretty kitty who is also a warrior, looking for prey, pouncing, and thunderpawing through the house. She looks like a white tiger and she thinks she is s a white tiger, but she is a little sweetie pie. Here is are some photos of her.

Here are photos of her sister, Kima, The Scout, who is always on the hunt for prey. She looks like a little cougar and climbs like one, too.

Now for the finished projects, Ok, well they are missing the buttons . . .
I just looked back at my blog trying to find other photos of Natural Silky Sweater photos--Whoa! I began this sweater in 2007!! How is that possible? Well, I guess it is--I am a slow knitter these days.

At least I began the Everyday Cardigan in October of 2008, and finished it recently with the help of Vannie.
Once I block them and have buttons, I will model them for you. They look way better than they do in these photos, and they both fit me perfectly. So those are the big projects I finished. I knit a couple more Trellis baby sweaters, a couple of pairs of socks, and began a surprise knitting project, which I cannot mention. There may be others but, at least you know that I am still knitting! Have a great weekend. We are off to the camp with the kitties in tow.

You have had a busy year of ups and downs. Glad the shoulder surgeries are over and you are getting back into the knitting groove.
I'm sorry about your cat. But congratulations on the new kitties, they are gorgeous. I hadn't heard of ocicats and looked them up after reading your post. Is Kima a spotless ocicat?
